CXX PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The Agents-General and other authorities are most kindly rendering 

 every assistance, and we trust that both growers and shippers will do 

 their best to send in Exhibits worthy of our Colonies, and to show what 

 can be produced for the Home markets. No entrance fee or charge for 

 space is made, and Tabling is also provided free of expense. 



If desired any produce may be consigned direct to the Society and it 

 will be stored in the cellars at Vincent Square and staged by the Society's 

 officials ; but the Society cannot undertake to repack and return any 

 exhibits. 



Particulars of the Shows can be obtained from the Secretary R.H.S., 

 Vincent Square, Westminster, S.W., by enclosing one penny stamp in 

 order to cover the cost of postage.
